Federal Nationals MP for Page Kevin Hogan's initial parliamentary entitlements claim covers his official first forty-nine days in the House of Representatives.
Not content to wait on the formal declaration of the Page electorate poll on 25 September or that official swearing-in on 12 November, Mr. Hogan began to rack up charges against Australian taxpayers beginning on 11 September 2013 with fuel for his car.
By 31 December his entitlement total came to $104,651.47.
Including $7,701.89 airfare/COMCAR costs for a family member/s.

Hopefully sometime between now and the next federal election he will start demonstrating value for the money being spent on him.
